What do I need to know before moving to Quito?

"Before moving to Quito, expats should be aware of the city's high elevation – reaching up to 2850 meters (9352 feet) above sea level – which may cause certain medical complications. They should also research the cost of living in Quito, as prices may differ from those of their home country significantly. Expats should furthermore familiarize themselves with the local language and culture, as English is not widely spoken in the city and Ecuadorian culture is distinct from other Latin American countries. Additionally, expats should make sure to have the most up-to-date vaccinations and get acquainted with the city's public transportation system. Finally, expats are highly recommended to get travel and health insurance before settling in Quito," commented one expat who made the move to Quito, Ecuador, Ecuador.

"Come visit first, stay in a travelers hostel if you want to meet people, doesn't matter your age...see where you want to live, then check the local paper to find rental listings..," remarked another expat in Quito, Ecuador.
